Chart of maximum tire size

ok here's a tricky question guys. do you guys think i could fit 33 12.5s if i got 3" bulge glass up front on just a t bar crank and a 1 inch lift in the back (AAL plus shackle minus block)? my question is mainly about the rear, i'm pretty positive the glass will fit them up front but i've got a hunch at full stuff in the rear it would rub to ****. also on 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing... thanks.

I know ther is probably something in the forum but I couldn't find it. I have a 2006 2wd, it has 15" rims on it, w/o doing and lifting, spacing ect.. can I put 16x7 rims with 265/70/16 or should I use a little smaller tire like a 255/65/16. I do all highway driving and am looking at the Michilin ltx ms/2.

Also, bought this cap in Cali like 5-6 months ago for $60!! Couldn't pass it up. Still haven't gotten around to painting it yet. Might switch back to the hard bed cover and ditch the cap since I got these new (used) rims. (also ignore the coolant leak on the ground. My Radiator was leaking... So I replaced it myself. All fixed)

This is what it looked like coming back from Cali to Chicago for those interested:

But 31's fit on my STOCK 95 ranger!! I just had to re-straighten my bumper. There is a if I try to turn all the way, but no biggy... They look freakin awesome!!

I wanna get bigger tires if possible i have been reading all sorts of threads and I understand that all trucks are different. But i wanna fit 31s on my truck but im at stock hieght people say that if you put spacers on your truck your tires will wear bad because of the camber and caster is off . Is that correct?? Im putting 235/75/15 goodyear duratracs on it but i would like to go bigger if possible whats my solution.

NEED HELP! I have an 06 sport 2wd. i am currently running 265x70x16 Toyo Open county H/T (hey, my parents tried haha). Wheels are 16x7 stock. Stock Suspension(no T-Bar crank/ but if needed thats cool)...whats a good size tire/wheel combo to run for mild offroading without getting a lift? THANKS GUYS!

I have a 99 ranger with a 3 inch BL, stock rims (freshly painted matte black as of yesterday), I'm looking at upgrading to the maximum size of rubber I can run, without modifying anything else, anyone have an idea?

Second. is there a cross over chart somewhere that explains. What the metric size of a 33x12.50x15 breaks down to?

i know the way my edge sits now a 265/75/16 would most likely rub,
It currently runs 245/75/16's

However preparing to do the body lift and some other small suspension work. I want to be sure I get the best tire wheel combo. I have tried to figure the offset out the best I can. I want to go at least 2" out further than factory on a 16x8. I also want to stick with 16" tires. I have been looking, my buddy said go with a 285-75-16... Which is what I have on my F150 now. looking these sitting next to my ranger... I am highly skeptical. They are about 20-25% now and I dont think it could happen... But I do not know these things either.

i have a 2008 sport 4x4 a friend has 17' rims i can have for free but i noticed on the chart the biggest shown is 16 would 17' fit and do they even make them for a ranger? if they would what would i need for rubber so i dont rub??

*Depending on vehicle age and history of driving conditions/habits stock suspensions may have 'sagged' causing tire clearance issues. As a result, the said tire sizes are not guaranteed to fit every application listed.It is to be used as a guideline for choosing tires, not the 'be all end all'.

*Wheel Backspacing/offset DOES MATTER but this a GENERAL chart. some trucks my differ, modify at your own risk!!!*

i have photo proof of a 06 xlt 2wd with 15x8's and 32x11.5R15's, no lift, no rubbing.

Hey guys quick question! 08 Fx4 with levelling lift kit 3 inch front 2 inch rear whats the biggest size tire I can fit without trimming. Im wanting to have a bigger backspacing then stock as I want the wide stance look. Any ideas? I have 265/75/16 with rub at very sharp turns but with stock rims

kryzanowski107 you are probably rubbing on your front swaybar. Your wheel offset/backspacing is to blame. Bigger than 32s most of the time you have to run different wheels to get the right clearance. I have an 08 sport with shackles and expo leaves and I can tuck a 265/75/16 AT in the rear and only get sway bar rubbing in the front with maxed tbars

Im wanting to have a bigger backspacing then stock as I want the wide stance look.

If you want a wider stance - you will actually want wheels with a smaller backspacing - not bigger.

They are 'ok' but not ideal. Purchase a quality setup & stay on top of the maintenance and odds are, you won't have any issues.

Not that it matters - but I wouldn't personally run them.

Most rational people will admit that getting wheels with the proper backspacing is the 'preferred method' over spacers (all else equal). A wheel with proper backspacing has less points of potential failure than a setup involving spacers - no way around that.

However, I don't subscribe to the 'spacers are the devil' idea because I know many people have ran them successfully - but I do know the preferred method is to get wheels with the proper backspacing and never have a need for spacers in the first place.
